WWSandMan Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Greeeeat. Another ship I've always wanted and will likely never fully grasp. On my wish list. (just got a nice raise at work <after having put in my notice to quit and received many offers far exceeding my original pay rate> so obtaining this bird isn't out of the question.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWSandMan Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Thanks, I'll openly brag... Over $4/hour more now than what I was getting paid two months ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWDarkdiz Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 And here is me enjoying life after being laid off from NORAD... (Rumour has it I will be back next week though...) 5 hours ago, WWCephas said: I need to raise my mission builder fees! I REALLY think you could get paid by 7c for the absolutely AWESOME missions you seem to spit out on a regular basis. I firmly believe that you are one of the VERY few people that actually understands the mission builder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCephas Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 That video is very tempting and it looks like they have the ground assets to make some very interesting missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWSandMan Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Dammit... the lure of 30mm HE is hard to resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) I've resisted so far... ...but, in part, that's because I just spent that amount on Farming SImulator 22.... Edited November 21, 2021 by WWGriphos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWDarkdiz Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 DAMMIT!!!! Early Access pre-release now delayed until "end Jan 2022" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCephas Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I bought it this week but the delay is fine for me. Guess I needed to relearn the DCS mission editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWDarkdiz Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I tinker with it, have made a few missions for Wolfie and I to fly in the F-14. It seems much easier to use than the IL2 ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWChunk Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 After the first of the year, we should look to mix in some DCS with all the folks that have it here in the squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCephas Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Are we looking to pair up as Gunner/Pilot or run with AI in the second seat? If so, I lean toward gunnery but piloting would be interesting as well. We should also start talking about theaters, I have Nevada but need the Gulf and Syria. Syria sounds pretty interesting for missions but the new free Marianas map might work too for short range missions. Nevada could work too if we wanted to run a domestic threat scenario.

WWDarkdiz Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 We could do both, after flying with Wolfie as the F14 RIO I can tell you it CAN be a challenge, as you have to bind not only the pilot but the RIO as well, it will probably be the same for the 64. In the F14, as the pilot you can use Jester, the AI RIO, but as the RIO, you can only use the AI pilot (Iceman) for VERY limited stuff (he will not take-off, land, or fight). For this one, I think I'll go with piloting, but still learn the weapons station. All the maps are pretty good, we all have Caucasus (it comes with the base game), Marianas is, for some reason a bit CPU/GPU intensive (from what I've heard), I haven't flown much on Syria or PG. I have the kneeboards for them though (I can share them and assist in getting them to work on your particular aircraft). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Syria is my favorite, but it’s more demanding on the computer. I think the Caucasus would be the best for a set of missions. As long as you include several planes, everyone can figure out what to fly. I’m holding off any helicopters until I can score a proper collective. I’ll fly the shit out of the Viper and the Hog though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWDarkdiz Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 IMHO, the collective is over-rated. I'm going to "make do" with my warthog throttle and set it up as a collective (pull back to go faster...)...(sort of...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 That’s why I’m currently doing, and maybe it’s just me, but it feels awkward as hell. I could just suck…wouldn’t be the first time. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWDarkdiz Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I used to fly Jane's Longbow back in the day with an old TM throttle, worked quite well as long as you get the response curve down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
